Women in STEM

Join us in the celebration of women and girls in STEM at Bradford College and the wider Bradford community.

Celebrating Women in STEM

Here at Bradford College, we are celebrating Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and shining a light on courses offered at Bradford College which promote inclusivity.

To celebrate this initiative, we are working to make STEM subjects accessible to all women and girls interested in these areas. Watch our documentary to hear from women working in STEM fields or find out about STEM events near you to find out how exciting it is to be studying and working in STEM.

With courses in Engineering and Science, Motor Vehicle, Maths and Computing, your time to study STEM is now.

I think it's important to bring diversity to the field. When it comes to engineering, it's a daunting thing for women to go into, but I think we have a set of skills that we can bring that men might not have. Iqra Sadiq HNC Electrical and Electronic Engineering Alumnus (2023)

You're working for construction, and everyone looks at me like I'm crazy and says, "Are you a bricky?" "Are you digging trenches?" And I say, "No, I'm a design coordinator. I work with a design team with architects." So, my advice to women would be: don't do it like them, do it like you. Fiona Doyle BSc (Hons) Construction Management (2023) and design coordinator
